BREADCRUMB

 1. Social Justice
 2. Racial Justice


RACIAL JUSTICE




SUPPORT HEALTHY MINDS AND SAFE COMMUNITIES

As a church, we are tasked with caring for the whole person—body, mind, and
soul—and that means we must recognize and care for those who are ill. Faith
communities can offer compassion, sanctuary, and community for those afflicted
with mental illness.

As a church, we operate under the belief that every person is created in the
image and likeness of God and has dignity, value, and worth, regardless of race,
gender, class, or other human characteristics. 

Our collective safety rests on our ability to support vulnerable and
marginalized members of our communities instead of punishment and incarceration.

New York City has led the nation in decarceration efforts, but far too many
people remain behind bars, with a disproportionate number of people of color
impacted.  Trinity’s Racial Justice Initiative will support efforts that fall
within three areas of focus, as described below.


LEAD


TRINITY WILL HELP ADVANCE A NEW, RACIALLY EQUITABLE JUSTICE SYSTEM THAT CENTERS
COMMUNITY-BASED RESTORATIVE AND TRANSFORMATIVE APPROACHES INSTEAD OF
INCARCERATION.

Few people think the criminal legal system is fair, but we have yet to realize
support for full-scale alternatives. Trinity seeks to build the infrastructure
to scale both restorative and transformative approaches that are rooted in
communities, respond to violence, and deliver justice. Trinity supports the
communities most affected by violence, incarceration, and trauma, following the
wisdom of residents who are best positioned to identify what is needed for
safety and justice.


ACTIVITIES WE SUPPORT UNDER THE LEAD STRATEGY HAVE THE FOLLOWING GOALS:


INVEST IN THE WELL-BEING AND HEALTHY MINDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE

by supporting community-driven mental health and learning support for young
people, including those in schools.


PROMOTE AN AFFIRMATIVE VISION FOR JUSTICE

by engaging local faith leaders in media work to offer a healing, restorative
safety/justice vision.


SECURE PUBLIC INVESTMENT

to scale promising, non-punitive, approaches to end the cycle of trauma and
violence.


PREVENT


TRINITY WILL HELP END UNNECESSARY PRETRIAL DETENTION AND RACIAL DISPARITIES.

Successful organizing and advocacy have produced legislative victories that
ended cash bail for most misdemeanors, reformed discovery practices, and ended
the practice of charging 16-year-olds as adults. Building on this momentum,
Trinity seeks to ensure equitable implementation of these laws while sustaining
the advocacy and organizing infrastructure to continue reducing incarceration
rates in New York. We also will disrupt racially unjust pipelines into the
criminal legal system by continuing to support the scaling of school-based
restorative justice efforts while exploring ways to uncouple the growing links
between immigration and criminal legal systems, and the criminalization of
immigrants.


ACTIVITIES WE SUPPORT UNDER THE PREVENT STRATEGY HAVE THE FOLLOWING GOALS:


SAFELY REDUCE THE JAIL POPULATION IN NEW YORK CITY

by support efforts to end cash bail and youth incarceration and hold
implementing agencies accountable for racially equitable outcomes.


BUILD AND SUSTAIN POSITIVE SCHOOL CLIMATES

to ensure all students have access to social, emotional, and restorative
approaches.


PROTECT IMMIGRANTS FROM CRIMINALIZATION

to ensure that immigrant New Yorkers have meaningful access to due process and
are protected from unnecessary detention and deportation.


LIBERATE


TRINITY WILL HELP END HOMELESSNESS FOR JUSTICE-INVOLVED NEW YORKERS.
 

Central to the efforts to end mass incarceration and homelessness is the
liberation of people leaving jail and prison. However, after serving their time,
returning citizens often encounter barriers to finding employment, obtaining
education and training, and securing housing. Trinity seeks to leverage our
combined expertise in both the racial justice and housing and homelessness
systems to support the holistic needs of returning citizens and center their
voices in the movement to end mass incarceration. We will have a deep focus on
increasing housing options for New Yorkers who have been directly impacted by
the criminal legal system.  


ACTIVITIES WE SUPPORT UNDER THE LIBERATE STRATEGY HAVE THE FOLLOWING GOALS:


EXPAND HOUSING OPTIONS AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

for justice-involved New Yorkers.


END THE CONTINUOUS PUNISHMENT OF POOR PEOPLE WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS

as it relates to housing, employment, and education.


CAMPAIGNS

In addition to supporting grantees that work with us to confront injustice,
racism, and inequality, Trinity advocates for justice to amplify the voices of
those who are not heard by speaking in the pulpit and in public.


CLOSE RIKERS

We call on New York City to close the jails on Rikers much faster than the
current 2026 timeline and to work to immediately improve conditions on Rikers
for those who remain incarcerated and those who work in the jails.




JUST REENTRY

Trinity leads this diverse coalition of faith leaders who believe it is a moral
imperative that our neighbors who are released from New York City’s jails are
treated justly.




BAIL IS BROKEN

Trinity worked with a coalition of interfaith partners, advocates, directly
impacted people and legislators in pushing to end money bail with our
#BailisBroken campaign.




MASS BAIL OUT

Trinity Church Wall Street partnered with Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights to post
bail for over one hundred women and children awaiting trial, many of whom were
held at Rikers Island and could not afford bail.




POLICY & ADVOCACY

Trinity is committed to achieving specific policy goals towards ending mass
incarceration and improving the lives of our neighbors and fellow New Yorkers.
